A web designer’s view of Houstonia’s businesses
From the 2023 county count for Pettis County:
- Used car dealers: 11. Their website should show your inventory photos, financing information you are allowed to share and a contact form.
- Home health care agencies: 11. Their website should show the services and areas you cover, how families start care and a contact form that reaches the office.
- Hardware stores: 7. Their website should show departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
- Quick-service restaurants: 34. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
- Beauty salons: 14. Their website should show services with prices, photos of real work, the stylists and the hours.
Pettis County as a whole had 1,004 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,330 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Pettis County has 2.9 times the national share of building material and garden stores: 25 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, contractors and homeowners check stock and hours, so the website should show departments, brands, delivery options and hours by season. Each of these businesses competes for the same search: someone in Houstonia typing what they need and picking from the results that look trustworthy.
